For all the complaining Perry did about how much JD was like an eager puppy, he really did appreciate just how much of a tactile person the kid was. He could always count on JD to know just when he needed to be touched, but also when he needed to be left alone. His near constant fights with Jordan about Jack always left him craving the friendly, loving touch of the other man. There was only one thing that bothered Perry about the way JD touched him. Even after six months of being together, he was always hesitant about any sexual aspect of their relationship. He could see the hesitation in every kiss or caress, waiting for some kind of approval before following through. It would take a good chunk of time, and a lot of effort on Perry's part, to get Newbie past the point of thinking about what he was doing.
It didn't seem to matter that it was Perry himself who'd made the first move all those months ago, the kid was under the impression that one day he was going to come to his senses and realize he's been fucking a man. That had been JD's reasoning when he'd finally managed to drag it out of him. Perry had been vaguely insulted at that point. He knew exactly who he was sleeping with, thank you very much; the penis was a dead giveaway.
But still, half the fun was convincing JD that it really was him he wanted, that he wasn't just settling for a substitute for Jordan. The easiest way to convince him was through actions rather then words. Perry could talk until he was blue in the face but it wouldn't matter. The only thing that would get through to JD was his touch. He'd convince JD with sure, firm strokes of hands, through his kisses, and through his own body's reactions. Hopefully, one day his words alone would be enough to keep JD's trust.
